Rambus RDRAM

Rambus RDRAM

Intel plans to use the so-called Rambus RAM (RDRAM or nDRAM) in the future. It is a
advanced technology from an American company, who sells the technology to other chip
manufactories for just 2% in license... And since Intel supports the RDRAM, they are going to
be rich. But RDRAM should be cheap to produce, so we all profit.
Data is read in packets at a very high clock speed. 600 MHZ works fine, and GigaHertz will
follow. We can drop the L2-cache if it works. The RDRAM chips have to be placed very close to
the CPU to reduce radio noise.
